Representing Artist Richard Kurtz

"My playful style speaks for an inner child inside all of us. The child preserves myth and wonder, heroes and villains, in a world of violent manufactured control. My artwork serves as an alternative to a rigid system, a key for the shackles that bind us. Scrap metal, discarded paper, fallen pieces of material life.These materials allow me to reassemble through collage a true image, with a coherent meaning, and a reminder for us all.I seek to reawaken the viewer, to foster awareness, to stimulate insight. I am a guerrilla artist with colors bright and energetic. With pure energy, I push away from the hands of a grotesque government complex, propaganda, limitation, the enemies of high consciousness.My role is to speak truth through images.My challenge is to do so without being appropriated by an unforgiving system."

"Photography isn't always waiting for the right moment, being at the right place at the right time, A great photographer creates that moment, inspiring the subject, interacting and then capturing something remarkable when that subject lets down their guard, This is Jennifer Esperanza Photography. The results are apparent and bear witness to the true essence of our beings."

Artist Tony Abeyta

"Jennifer Esperanza always finds a way to pull the air, the light, and a lifetime of living into her photographs. You see it in the eyes and on the skin of her subjects, whether they are artists, shaman, scientists, the ocean or trees. There it is, every time."

“I have a severe case of wanderlust. I think of traveling all the time.I’m hungry for experiences in other countries because I’m insanely curious about how other people live, worship, suffer and overcome outside of our bubble in America."

“We exist in a culture of non-sequitur status updates and photo streams as a mode of defining our lives, and I take no issue with where we’ve found ourselves. If I were to maintain a practice that follows a linear thread it would seem incongruous to how we currently absorb information. As a result, my work can seem disparate to some, but that is who we are now. This is a world of double screening maniacs that can’t sit through a movie without checking our phones, and feel compelled to broadcast sentiments publicly that have varying degrees of importance to anyone but ourselves. If someone still needs to view an artist’s practice under a unilateral light – it would seem to be off base with how we all exist and process information.” Easton A. Miller
